I need 16 players to participate in this single elimination, 1 v 1 tournament. No freemiums as you will need at least six free slots at the beginning of each set.

This will be played like a men’s tennis major except we're playing with 16 instead of 128. Minor detail. Each player will be seeded based on their win percentage in 2-player games as of the first games being sent out. This tournament will involve a high number of games against the same player, so each player must have at least 100 games completed and 99% turns taken. If you don’t want to play a lot of games, you shouldn’t enter this tournament.

Six games will be sent out for each match to begin. To win a set, you must be the first to win six games, and win by two. You must win the best of five sets to advance to the next round. If two players are tied in a set at six games each, two games will be sent out at a time until someone wins by two.

Games will all be played on random maps. Each game will also be played nuclear or no spoils randomly selected. Random fog or sunny as well. All other settings will be standard, automatic, sequential, unlimited.

Greetings, everyone. Looks like I'll be rescuing this tournament. It's really too bad the original organiser dropped it, because quite honestly he was doing a beautiful job. It's not often I have a chance to say that.

Anyway, I doubt if I'll be able to make beautiful scoreboards like the original organiser, so for now I'll be rendering the results in simple text form. When I get some time maybe I'll take a shot at making nice scoreboards, or if someone with a graphic bent feels like volunteering, please do!

Anyway, here's where we stand after two rounds of play:

According to the original scoreboards, Grandilof beat mwaser and will advance.

Also according to the original scoreboards, Krissan beat BluU and should have advanced. However, Krissan disappeared from CC in July. So, he will have to be replaced. The easiest option would be to give BluU a pass, but I think maybe it would be more fair to have some kind of a playoff round where all four Second Round losers get a chance for the empty slot. Anyway, I'm willing to hear debate on this point before making my final decision.

According to the original scoreboards, the series between Shoop and Steelfoot was still active. However, I find that there was a Game 10 which Shoop won, and he therefore wins the overall match and advances.

The series between HA and 3-Luke has also been decided but not recorded. HA wins the third set 6-2 and advances.

The players guaranteed to advance are Grandilof, Shoop76, and HighlanderAttack. Krissan would be eligible if by some miracle he returned to CC in the next couple days, but it seems rather unlikely. So, one of the four Second Round losers will also advance.

Update Sep. 30th: Mwaser has declined to try for another chance. Therefore, there will be a round-robin playoff between Steelfoot, BluU, and triple-Luke.Update Oct. 15th: BluU has won the playoff and advances.

Game 12047248 hasn't actually ended yet, but even through the fog it looks as if there's no way that Grandilof can come back in this one, so I'll call it for Shoop, and if I have to backtrack I'll look like an idiot later...
